Overclocking DECREASES performance...

[KazinSB]

Last night I rough s overclocking my r5 1500x, after working through some problems, I set to to 3.7 ghz and called it a night. At 3.7 ghz It had a 65% on userbenchmarks. Today I decided to push it a bit further because I seemed to have the thermal capability to do so. I went to the BIOS and set it to 3.85 ghz. While I did that I noticed my motherboard was automatically over-volting too, which I didn't like. I had had no signs of system instability during my stress test, so I set the voltage to the same level it had been at before I entered the overclock. My stress test at 3,85 ghz went perfectly well, so when I ran UBM again THIS completely surprised me... http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/4894725 Performign worse than 99% of other 1500x... Can anybody help me figure out why?

A few extra notes:

task manager shows it at what should be the correct 3.85 GHz, so it seems like my BIOS IS changing the clock speed like it should...

I had a similar issue last night, except task manager never changed what it showed as the clock speed from 3.5 (the base clock speed)

My MOBO is a b350 Tomahawk from MSI, missed this in the OP but ill add it now, oops!

 

Any help is appreciated!

 

Edit: further testing: 

It got a 297 on Cinebench at 3.85 GHz, Then I went to BIOS and reset everything to default, which gave me a 784 in Cinebench, and a 77% On UBM- www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/4895543 -. So its nothing wrong with UBM, its either hardware or user error, but I have no Idea what is wrong...

Sorry, should have mention it in to OP, MSI b350 tomahawk!

you should test  more than 1 benchmark before saying your cpu has some sort of problem

I will find another CPU benchmark to run, on both 3.7 and 3.85 GHz
